Thanks for replying to this; autofocus was indeed set to AF.C as I thought easier to follow the action. Looking at the pictures, top sides are sharper than middle sections, so I suppose camera could work as to backfocussing ? Next weekend, I'll set up my camera on 45° stand for doing a focus t...

Pentax or Sony?
DOnt you ever get itchy feet and think that the sony or canon this is better? Matt I've often thought I'd like a Leica M8 or a Hasselblad H3 but as for DSLR's I can say with all honesty, "Never". If I could go back I'd still choose Pentax every time (although I'd probably chop and change some of...

Pentax or Sony?
But if you want a nice light camera you can carry at all times, with good ergonomics, and capable of good results, try the K-m. My partner has it. I have the K100D which I love, but I'm still jealous of her's. Jacobs are selling it for only £330, less £30 cash back. At £300 it's a real bargain...

Well, I am surprised that no one has guessed:P It's PaintShop Pro X:shock: Paint shop pro and the like will sort out converging verticals (at the expense of variable image degradation) OK but won't give you the depth of field that the and a view camera will. I can't remember who asked (the O...

Pentax or Sony?
I don't think anybody mentioned Photoshop increasing DOF. I would assume that the photographer would use a small aperture with an ultra-wide lens and do one of two things. The first could be to keep the camera back vertical and parrallel to the subject (and I'm talking about architecture here)...

Pentax or Sony?
Yes that's of course fine for perpective corrections/controls, but there is only one way to do the work of a tilt lens and that's well, to use a tilt lens (or technical camera) The tilt lens facility is nothing to do with 'Shift'/perspective control, it's the ability to angle the plane of focus to...

Pentax K200D Discontinued.
I have just had more stock of K200D arrive and it on the latest price list which has been sent to me with the new pricing... I am speaking to my rep later - I will report back when I have more info! Chris

Lens & Flash for wedding (for K10D)
I would also stock up on memory cards and some spare batteries. A previous thread had some good tips for using the best man to help do the group photos. The DA* 16-50 would be ideal if you can afford it. The QC issues are over-blown and easily solved (buy from SRS!). The 16-45 is very good t...

2 New K20Ds
is it worth the upgrade. i am in two minds. sell my k10 and buy a k20. if my k10 goes for £250 and i purchase the k20 for £570 (£470 with cash back) it will only cost me £220. or i could buy a new lens, one of those sdm lenses that i seek but as you can see it is a bit more costly. so is the k...

2 New K20Ds
so is the k20 worth the upgrade? I'd answer yes :) Lower noise (largely due to the CMOS sensor, compared to the CCD of the K10D), slightly larger dynamic range, ISO up to 6400 (albeit noisy), micro adjustment for focus, PC connector for studio flash, minor control improvements (for ISO selection et...

should pentax dslrs have face detection added
I do like the auto focus system on the Nikon D300 and that one has face dedection. Face dedection on his own wouldn't want me to buy the camera but if it feature almost the things as the D300 has then I'm more then happy :) The D300 isn't that expensive anymore I think it would be great if Pentax...

No. Every penny spent on stupid gimmicks for stupid people is one less penny for useful features, or better quality construction. G (Infuriated purist) Indeed, the other thing is that this feature cannot work with phase detection AF systems only with full frame live-view contrast detect which...

I've used in-camera processing a few times, not lots, but a few. I always shoot raw, and occasionally the situation has arisen where I need to email a low res jpeg of one of those shots to someone, when I've only had a basic PC to use (i.e. no raw converter loaded). In-camera processing has done t...

he asked me to take a group photo with it for him, 10x face detection every face dead sharp, i couldn't argue with him, Are you suggesting that a face at 5m and one at 2m can both be in focus? That would be a clever trick. Mike

Shaky, George's first comment was a bit crass to say the least, but it is just George, stating his point of view in his less than tactful way. Prieni is referring to Scott's quoting of George's second post and saying that that is also insulting, which it isn't. I for one couldn't careless about in...
